Review for 4C Energy Rush--Tea

CAFFEINE
CONTENT

60
mg/serving (1/2 tsp)

EASE
IN ACQUISITION—10

Wal-Mart
acquisition.Need I say more?

APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—8

As
with all of these water additives, points are given for making it so convenient
to carry such gratuitous quantities of energy everywhere you go, be it in a
pocket, purse or whatever; also appreciated is the listing of the caffeine
content.Aesthetically, this one
is interesting—kind of like the person designing the label got creative with
different colors of chalk on a blackboard and decided it looked great.Only downside is that it blends in so
easily with its neighboring water additives that unless you know where to look
you might pass it over without even knowing it, other than that it earns my thumbs
up.

TASTE—7.5

Let
me start by saying this: tea drinkers, this is not a product for you.There is little to no actual tea in
here; it’s so far down below the “natural and artificial flavors” in the
ingredients list that it might as well be considered homeopathic.That being said, if your palate is not too discriminatory, you might enjoy the
slightly sour, moderately sweetened earthiness of this concoction—not quite
instant Monster Rehab, but still a palpable enough way to get your morning dose
of caffeine.

KICK
(INTENSITY)—10

Like
the Mio Energy water enhancers (whose innovation this was doubtless inspired
by), this is an exceptionally versatile product, capable of giving you any sort
of boost ranging from mild (1/2 tsp or one serving) to exceptionally intense (3
tsp/1 tbsp or six servings…not advised on a regular basis).Start low and work your way up, and you
should be able to find a buzz that’s right for you.

KICK
(DURATION)—10

You
can get anywhere from an hour to over five with this one, depending on how much
you use.No crash recalled.

THE
PRODUCT OVERALL—9.17

This
is definitely not going to please everyone in the taste department as much as
it did me, but for those who do like the flavor, it’s inexpensive, versatile and
about as convenient as you could ask for.Try it and leave your thoughts.
